NSO would lose customers if iOS and android were insecure because there would be a million competitors capable of doing the same job.

NSO prefers devices to be 99% secure.

Yes. The whole existence of NSO shows that the iPhone is preeminent in platform security. No one pays hundreds of thousands of dollars to access an easily exploitable system.

FWIW, Zerodium still values Android zero-days higher[0] than iOS ones. Suffice to say that both parties pay hundreds of thousands to access their respective systems, to the point that companies like Greyshift sell standard-issue exploit hardware[1] for these devices now. Hacking your phone is a commercial field in the year of 202X.

Both platforms are extremely vulnerable and actively exploited. Make of that what you will.

Partly due to more android devices out there than iPhones ex-US
